About Fish bun

Fish bun is a savory filled pastry popular in Sri Lankan cuisine, often enjoyed as a snack or breakfast item. It typically consists of a soft bread bun stuffed with a flavorful mixture of cooked fish, onions, garlic, chili, and aromatic spices like turmeric and curry powder. The filling is encased in dough and baked or fried to a golden brown finish. Fish buns provide a good source of protein from the fish, along with vitamins and minerals such as omega-3 fatty acids, which support heart health. However, depending on preparation, they may contain high amounts of refined flour and fats that should be consumed in moderation. The spices and vegetables add to the nutritional value, providing antioxidants and dietary fiber. Fish buns offer a balance of energy and flavor, making them a beloved treat in South Asian cuisine.
